Lauren is watering her plants by placing them in a tray of water. She notices that the water moves up the soil against gravity. Which process describes this movement of water through the soil, mimicking the movement across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration?

• Diffusion

• Osmosis

• Active Transport

• Filtration

Imagine Lauren is studying how a single cell in Mike's body can divide to produce two identical cells, each carrying the same genetic information as the original cell. What is this process called?
